Pieterse, they are the only one who can steal the jersey polka dots
There are only 30 points to distribute in the mountain classification (15 at the Glanon summit and 15 at Alpe-d’Huez). If he wants to win the polka dot jersey, Puck Pieterse must pass two passes in the lead while Justine Ghekiere will not get any points.
